Casting Call: Bloggers wanted for ‘The Decades Blogathon’

Attention my friends, family and fellow shortbread lovers, I have a proposition for you. Mark, yes THE Mark from Three Rows Back, a DSB favorite, approached me a little while ago about starting up a brand new blogathon revolving around the discussion of film. This would be my very first time hosting and/or co-hosting something like this, so I’ll let Mark fill you in on the details about his idea:

We’re already halfway through the 2010s and we thought it would be a good time to run a blogathon focusing on movies that were released in the fifth year of the decade.

We’re calling it – originally enough – the ‘Decades’ blogathon.

Is there a film you’ve always wanted to review that was released in 1995, 1945, 1975 or the fifth year of any other decade? If so, then we’d love you to get involved. Hell, go back to 1905 if you like (I’ve already got dibs on 1985’s Back To The Future, though, sorry)!

These blogathons are only as good as the entries they receive, so we’re looking forward to receiving some fantastic contributions.

We’re hoping to run the blogathon from Monday, 18 May. We’re keeping the number of entries limited to about 15 to stop it getting too unwieldy, so please make sure to get in touch ASAP to avoid disappointment by either dropping me an email at threerowsback@gmail.com or emailing Tom at tomlittle2011@gmail.com letting us know which film you’d like to cover (just so we don’t get duplicate posts) or for more info.

We’re both really excited to receiving your posts for what we’re hoping will be a diverse and absorbing blogathon. Thanks for reading and we hope to hear from you soon! Most importantly, though, GET INVOLVED!

It is not sir, but if you want to get in on the action you should send me and/or Mark (threerowsback@gmail.com) an email tonight to ensure your spot. We have three openings left!!! Thanks for your interest dude!

There’s never been a better time than now to get in on the action! We have several more spots left, so just email me or Mark letting us know which year and film you’d like to talk about and we”ll go from there! Thanks Anna!

**UPDATE: WE ARE EXPANDING THE TOTAL # OF ENTRIES TO 20. THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN AWESOME SO FAR, SO INSTEAD OF 15, THE NEW LIMIT WILL BE 20 ENTRIES.**

That said, Mark and I would still like it if everyone could submit just one film title apiece so that we can maximize the number of unique entries. Thank you everyone for your responses so far. It’s been great.
